I previously purchased a helmet mirror and hated it. It was soft plastic, and would flop in the wind. Is this more stable?

This mirror is very stable. Rock-solid, really. It won't move unless you bump into something, which I did twice while getting used to having something hanging off my helmet. This mirror continues to be one of the best purchases I've made and I now could not imagine going for a ride without it. In my review I have stressed how large this mirror is so please do not lose sight of that fact. But its very size is what gives you such a remarkable view of what is coming up behind you. An excellent purchase and one I highly recommend.

Yes, it is substantially more stable. It won't flop in the wind or when you ride over bumps, but it can be knocked out of alignment if you bump it into something or drop the helmet on the ground.

I tried a number of helmet mounted mirrors and this one was the best, yes it does vibrate some but it was the best I found. However I could never get used to a mirror attached to my head and have ended up getting a handle bar mounted mirror and am very happy with it. I think more personal preference. The mirror you asked about does what it says it will.

Before I switched to this mirror I had used many others (attached to my glasses frames and to the helmet). This is the best mirror I've ever used by far. It is absolutely stable. I've crashed while using it and it separated cleanly at the joins and I was able to put it back together with no problem. Other cyclists in my club also bought it when they saw how well it performed. One of the biggest advantages is it has a much larger viewing surface than the other many mirrors I had tried previously.

My personal experience with this mirror has been without complaint. I would purchase this mirror, again.

I had a helmet mirror that would bounce around when I would ride on ruff roads and or if bumped. I have used this mirror for over 6 months and I ride 100 plus miles a week and it is just as solid as the day I bought it. The mirror is large and you may find you might have a blind spot but I have found it not to be a problem. For me this mirror was well worth the money.

I have no problems with it being stable. It doesn't tip(unless all your weight is on one edge). Or bounce/shift under you. And I have balance and depth perception issues! So I think you'll be safe.

My mirror(s) have never fallen over. I am more than satisfied with them. Yes, I bought another a few weeks later for my daughter. I would recommend them to anyone!

I have bought two of them because the mirror of the first one was broken when my bicycle fell, however the second one lasted a long time even though my bicycle fell several times

Not for me. I find it works best when adjusted so I can just see the top of my shoulder and almost see the edge of my ear/ helmet. It took a while to get the hang of adjusting it but it's second nature now. It may be that the helmet mirror sits higher and further out than an eyeglass mirror- I've never used an eyeglass mount. But I suspect they all take some getting used to, and no one works for everyone.

The product is shipped in two pieces and I see no reason why you couldn't take the mirror off each time. However, it would seem to me that over time you would run the risk of losing the connection to where it would no longer stay in place. I would try to come up with a different way to attach it to your helmet but then that would also mean readjusting the entire mechanism each time you ride.

It's stable. Never had a problem at all, and it does look really nice, not cheap looking at all. I found out these are the same ones they have at Hobby Lobby.

Not really, it worked better for keeping your head from falling to the side. Overall, I wouldn't buy it again.

I think you are saying this like you already try it. And you are right the adhesive mount is rigid and it wont take the helmet shape. My suggestion use another mount, what about goggles, Do you use googles? try with that. That the only thing I can say. Bless

Hi, I have this helmet and i love it. I've never felt the visor obstruct my view. I don't see how it could if you are looking forward. It doesn't fall on your face.

Not sure what 'normal' might be. A very small drop of the helmet would not damage the mirror. The arm piece is made of plastic (good quality and pretty substantial). I keep my helmet in a drawer in the garage. A few times the mirror has taken a hit as it's been put away - realigns the location, but does no damage. The arm is modular and sections can come apart - but just snap back in without any problem. Better made the pretty much any other mirror that I've used.

It stays in place just fine for me. I don't use it on off road terrain very often. I'm more of a bike path type rider. It's very adjustable and doesn't seem to be wobbly or loose at all.

I don't know the weight but it's light you cannot feel any weight. You can contact the manufacturer with the question at http://www.safezonemirror.com I have used a large variety of helmet and glasses frame mounted mirrors & this is the best by a wide margin. I use it on all my rides - training, racing, recreational. The field of view is much, much larger than other helmet/glasses frame mounted mirrors.

Yes, it is really attractive and quite stable. I use it to display teary head wraps.

Mirror is flat glass. It is large enough I can see all I need without being convex. I have two on a tandem, one for each rider. We never seem to miss seeing what we need to feel safe and I truly believe BE SAFE!

Mirror needs to have some place to hang from. As long as u can loop it around the head rest u can use it.

The answer (seems to me) to be completely one of personal choice and physical set up in the area where you're going to use the mirror. While it swivels and extends/contracts easily the fitment of parts are tight and will stay where you position it. I've actually got mine on the wall behind where I sit and use it for rear view of my head - or - I turn to use it up close.
